What is Truth? What is Fantasy?

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, What is Truth? What is Fantasy?

Reports from around the world. One reporter is thrown off balance on a trip to North Korea

Reports from writers and journalists around the world. Presented by Kate Adie. Stories from North Korea, Hungary, Mexico, the United States and Turkey.

What's life like in North Korea? Our reporter Steve Evans gets rare access, but wonders if all is as it seems. Gabriel Gatehouse meets Hungarians once so keen to tear down barriers between them and their eastern European neighbours who now believe it's time to put up fences. Katy Watson witnesses poignant scenes on the US/Mexico border as families enjoy a brief reunion amid speculation about what a Trump presidency might mean for Mexicans. What's trash-talking got to do with playing chess? David Edmonds has been finding out on a visit to the American state of Missouri. And Emma Jane Kirby's in Istanbul learning why a gentle novel from the 1940s is striking a chord with today's young Turks.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
